== Childhood ==
Saga was born on 15 March, 1978 at Symningborg Castle near Tynam, [[Cryria]]. Her father was Duke Ögge of Tynam. Her mother was Gazny Nurai, the only daughter of Gazny Chīrén, then the Governor of Gazny Khot.
Saga had one twin brother, Turlan. In accordance with typical local naming conventions, Saga and Turlan were given separate Tynami names - Turyana and Siban respectively. As a result of their parents' often tumultuous marriage, both Saga and her brother spent much of their childhoods with their mother's family in Gazny Khot.
== Education ==
Saga was initially raised in Gazny Khot before returning to Leidenstad and enrolled in the Eglistanes Secondary School. She later declined to apply for a deferral or exemption from Cryria's National Service System and elected to complete the full two years of mandatory service with the Regiment of Coastal Jaegers, apparently out of a desire to not return home to Symningborg where circumstances remained tense. At this time, it had been assumed that her brother, Turlan, was the favored successor to the Duchy. However, an apparent tryst and later marriage between Turlan and Alessia Ciresi in [[Charlottesborg]] generated the disapproval of both the Duke and the Duchess and created new rifts within the household.
Saga went on to attend the Leidenstad Military Academy and graduated in 2002.

Saga also inherited the House of Tynam's seat on the ''Första Kammaren'', which marked the beginning of her involvement with Cryrian politics. The Duchess was one of the key backers of the Remembrance of Sixty-Four, a political committee whose name referred to the sixty-four Cryrian citizens killed at the Charlottesborg Consulate. The group harshly criticized the failure of the Schaumann Government to evacuate Cryrian civilians prior to Charlottesborg's exit ban alongside the general paralysis displayed during the early days of the crisis. Remembrance was ultimately a contributing factor in both destroying the Green Party's bid to regain power and in removing Schaumann himself as leader of the party.
Other activities at this time related to Tynam's unique position within Cryria as a culturally and linguistically distinct region. The final settlement of the [[Northern Waters Dispute]] in 2002 also allowed for a wider rapprochement between Cryria and [[Älemsi Negdel]], and by the 2010s this had led to the start of a gradual political realignment of Tynam as well. Without the overhanging threat of conflict with the Negdel, Tynami politicians became more willing to break from their traditional conservative allies and push for various forms of autonomy and cultural recognition within the Kingdom.
Despite initially strong support for the Conservative Party through the Remembrance movement, Saga has moved along with this trend in a limited fashion. The Duchess has been a significant advocate within the Riksdag for reforming legacy Albertine-era restrictions on the usage of languages other than Cryrian in government and in the education system. She is also a notable supporter of continuing to pursue closer relations with Älemsi Negdel, a country with which the Duchess still has close personal ties with due to her upbringing in Gazny Khot, and her familial connections to Governor Gazny Zamira.
